"Xiao Yuhao".
Just as Huo Yuhao was engrossed in cultivation, Tianmeng's voice rang in his ears.
Huo Yuhao quickly realized that he had been pulled into the Sea of Spirituality by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm once again.
"Sister Tianmeng, is there something you need?" Huo Yuhao was getting more and more used to calling her Sister Tianmeng.
"You seem to have a bad memory, don't you?" Tianmeng's displeased voice rang out.
"Do you even know that you woke me up twice today! Twice in total!"
"Even when I was at my lowest point, those guys in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest never disturbed my sleep this frequently!"
Tianmeng, her face filled with grief and indignation, accused Huo Yuhao of his cruelty: "And you, you've woken me up more times in the last few days than I've been woken up the entire previous year!"
"But at that time I clearly felt a warm and comfortable sensation in my meridians. I felt that my meridians were being nourished several times faster than during cultivation, so I wanted to investigate what exactly happened at that time..."
"No matter what, we can't..."
Suddenly, Tianmeng's complaints stopped, and she changed her tune from before.
"Something this important is definitely more important than my sleep! Come on, let's discuss it together..."
As she spoke, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm separated a portion of her spiritual power and projected two human meridian diagrams into her spiritual sea.
At this moment, Tianmeng's spiritual power was replacing her soul power to reproduce the warm current that Huo Yuhao had experienced before.
Huo Yuhao first focused his attention on the circulation route, which was mainly based on the meridians.
strangeness……
The route is exactly the same as the Xuan Tian Gong, but the speed is much slower. Everything else is no different from practicing the Xuan Tian Gong.
Why is the effect of nourishing the meridians so much stronger?
It's important to understand that changes in the speed of circulation are not a significant issue. For example, compared to Bei Bei at the same level, Huo Yuhao, a level 11 Soul Master, experiences a much slower flow of Soul Power.
No, BeiBei might not have experienced level eleven. Maybe he skipped level eleven right after absorbing his first spirit ring...
In short, at most you can say that the internal energy of the Xuan Tian Gong stays in the meridians for a longer time, which does indirectly improve the efficiency of nourishing the meridians, but this is at the expense of cultivation efficiency.
Moreover, the efficiency improvement is not very significant, and it won't be several times higher than before.
It should be noted that after a morning, without Huo Yuhao specifically guiding the warm current to nourish his meridians, the time it took for the Xuan Tian Gong to circulate once had slowed down from one hour to fifty-nine minutes.
Don't underestimate the small amount of time saved.
Even the priceless Xuan Shui Pill only reduced Huo Yuhao's cycle time to fifteen minutes.
Doesn't this mean that if it's done multiple times, its effect will be comparable to a Mystic Water Pill?
If there's no problem with the data and the soul power circulation is fine, then the problem must lie in that special warm current.
"Sister Tianmeng, when you were recording the path of your soul power, did you sense anything unusual about that warm current?"
"Isn't that the internal energy of that Mysterious Heaven Skill you've been cultivating?"
Tianmeng hadn't really paid much attention, but when Huo Yuhao brought it up, she racked her brains to recall the feeling of that warm current.
There did seem to be some differences, but I was a bit sleepy at the time and didn't pay much attention...
"Sister Tianmeng, please think about it some more. This is really important; it might determine how far we can go in the future... If you really can't remember, that's okay. I can just go again tomorrow night, and then I'll trouble you to..."
"Shut up! I'm barbecuing!" Tianmeng interrupted Huo Yuhao impatiently. She definitely needed to sleep tomorrow, so how could she possibly work overtime?
Suddenly, Tianmeng finally pieced together the general feeling of that warm current from her memory: "It doesn't seem to be entirely the Xuan Tian Gong internal energy you mentioned; it seems to contain some blood and qi mixed in?"
"Qi and blood?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.
In the Douluo Continent setting, Qi and blood are a very strange thing. Unlike other fantasy novels where it belongs to the body tempering school, it naturally increases with the improvement of cultivation. The original work also describes Qi and blood in strange ways without any standard.
On the one hand, Qi and blood can be integrated with soul power and spiritual power. According to normal understanding, these three should belong to the same level of power.
However, the original text also contains statements such as, "Although qi and blood cannot determine combat power, a strong person with powerful qi and blood will have extremely strong strength and endurance in actual combat."
Combat power and strength are essentially the same thing, right? You can't say combat power is just a numerical value in a game and doesn't represent strength?
This puts one's Qi and blood in a quantum superposition state of "enhancing combat power and not enhancing combat power".
Then in the third part, they introduced a protagonist who mainly focused on Qi and Blood, and even started using Qi and Blood techniques.
In addition, the original work likes to use "the surging of qi and blood in the body" to describe the characters suffering from minor internal injuries, equating the state of qi and blood with the state of a person's body.
There are even descriptions like "severe deficiency of qi and blood results in loss of foundation, even if Beibei has a strong foundation, she will have to lie down for ten days".
He also equated qi and blood with vitality, saying when Huo Yuhao was on the verge of death from blood loss, "The immense vitality first stimulated his bone marrow, suddenly increasing his hematopoietic function and restoring his own qi and blood..."
It seems that Qi and blood are closely related to blood and vitality.
For a moment, Huo Yuhao couldn't understand what Tianmeng Ice Silkworm meant by "blood and qi".
However, considering that this warm current, or qi and blood, always appeared when the body pushed its limits, Huo Yuhao began to speculate about qi and blood.
As mentioned earlier, when the body pushes its limits, cells begin to engage in autophagy to obtain energy and continue high-intensity exercise.
In other words, Qi and blood come from cell autophagy? Based on the premise that vitality is the basic energy that constitutes all life, does this mean that vitality is extracted and exchanged for Qi and blood?
What is the connection between vitality and blood and qi?
Huo Yuhao shared his knowledge and guesses with Tianmeng and received a positive answer. However, Tianmeng only had a superficial understanding of various energies other than mental power and could not answer Huo Yuhao's questions.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao can't even sense his own Qi and blood anymore, let alone mobilize them. He can only continue using the brute-force method. It seems that his research on nourishing the meridians has come to an end.
Huo Yuhao then examined the circulation route of the body tempering technique. At that time, most of the warm current, which was the product of the combination of soul power and blood qi, was integrated into the limbs and bones at the end of the meridians. At present, no specific effect could be seen, but the energy integrated into various parts of the body certainly would not disappear for no reason...
Huo Yuhao guessed that the flow of qi and blood into the limbs and bones would also have a nourishing effect on the limbs and bones, just like nourishing the meridians.
What is this? A body-strengthening technique?
However, what is this process of extracting cellular vitality in exchange for qi and blood, and then combining qi and blood with soul power to return to the cells? Is it a perpetual motion machine?
Something must have been lost in the process. Perhaps this transformation process has depleted vitality, and blood and vitality are definitely not the same thing.
As for whether excessively extracting life force in exchange for blood and qi would have any adverse effects, Huo Yuhao was indeed somewhat worried about this.
However, considering that Huo Gua didn't encounter any problems in the original work, and that he could obtain the Blade of the Living Guardian later, he didn't worry too much about this aspect.
Unfortunately, with Huo Yuhao's current abilities, this is already the limit of his research.
Where did the chapter title go? Didn't I already say it? I got fired by Zhou Yi ╮(︶﹏︶)╭
